opened my front door today, and a maggie was outside my front gate. It was completely unfussed by my ratbag younger dog losing his shit at the sight of a magpie, and instead proceeded to tease/warble at him through the fence. It was very cute.

    They have come up near my door before! I think they know there’s cat food inside or maybe just curious

    My Dad has a family that visit him, and have been known to wander into the house and ask for food. They also bring their fledglings to visit each season. It is super, super cute to see my gruff old Dad chatting away to his magpies. The old softy keeps insects for them.

    ETA: a family of magpies, not just, like, a random family who wander in asking for food...
